Tulsa King Episode 5 "Joe Token" Review | Michael Franzese

I wish Stallone would have been cast in mob movies a long time ago, he can definitely do it.

Michael, what's I find amazing is how straight you are today and such a great example and yet when you tell your stories it puts you back in time and explain things as they were. Your ability to separate your 2 lives is quite amazing. Congratulations! I really appreciate your rehabilitated guidance. Happy Holidays!!! PS- I too live in Long Island and just had dinner at Mastros in Newport! I can see why you love it so much!! Cheers!!

[@vanmoody]

@@michaelfranzese One question I have about the Life is that in the case where Dwight killed a man who molested his daughter would he be in trouble (in real life) for not getting permission ahead of time to kill the man? I think most men would understand why he did what he did. But in that Life if you can die for hitting a made man wouldn't you also be in trouble for killing one? Great program Sir.

[@doa75]

Sly just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work , Sir!

[@johynsmith]

I can appreciate and relate to this also concerning my father's funeral. There was not only deep family issues, but a serious safety issue with me being there. I will face this difficult decision again when I lose my mother. If people haven't been through it, they just don't understand. You were there for you father while he was alive Michael. You respected him when it counted, not crocodile tears at a grave. This is why Jesus said let the dead bury the dead. My father always told me that life is for the living. God bless you and your family. 🙏

[@Shinobi_ninja_clan]

As soon as I watched the first episode it made me think of you Michael. While there are a lot of differences it's easy to see the comparison still, keep the great content coming! I'm stuck home post surgery for Cancer so these videos cheer me up! God bless u all

[@moviejunkpodcast]

love these breakdowns Michael. The more and more I watch Tulsa King; I see the similarities with your life. These breakdowns are great! Thank you

[@carolj471]

I had an uncle in "that life". Been dead a long time now. I had two brothers who tried to follow him into that life but my uncle, to his credit, he refused to let that happen. Unfortunately they both followed their own paths, my younger brother was in prison more than out. He died earlier this year. I was the only family member still talking to him and I made sure his final days was as good as they could be under the circumstances. We love our families. We hate their crimes. But we love them. People outside the life tend to romanticize it. Ain't nothing pretty about any of it in my opinion. What a testimony you have and I'm so glad you are willing to share so hopefully more young people won't try to go into it. You make it real. I hope anyone who's young and thinks that life is something to work towards changes their mind. Jewels in your crown in heaven:-)

[@thewalkingtriggerwarning]

The show is great! And I really enjoy your play by play breakdown. I’m a fan!

[@identity911]

what did you think it was about, bees and unicorns?

[@mr.soprano2609]

I agree, i also thought it was gonna be super realistic with all the information we have nowadays about the mob life, like what gets you killed or gets you in jail. But the entertainment value is just so high on this show that it doesn't even bother me

[@davidsummer8631]

@@mr.soprano2609 It has a more comedic feel to it than I thought it would have for example the guys who make up his crew and I thought it was going to be a serious drama. But once I got past that it wasn't like you said it im enjoying it for high entertainment value

[@kenkannon5630]

The joy is seeing Sly not making something I get the feel is nothing but a "payday" movie Sly is showing he still has his "Rocky" chops! What a joy! He can still select well, so congrats my-man, you own this role, as you did with Rocky

[@cody9579]

I really appreciate the sincerity behind everything you say. Whether reviewing your life, movies, or answering questions being interviewed.

[@mathewmcdonald3657]

Thank you for sharing such a difficult moment. I feel your pain, we make selfish choices that hurt our loved ones and that pain and regret never goes away.

[@RRTNZ]

Mr Franzese, great review. Tulsa King is very exaggerated, but it is still incredibly entertaining and Stallone's performance in this episode was really moving - especially the scenes with his daughter. I almost feel like he was born to play this role - but he had to wait until he was the right age. I wonder if Stallone would come on your channel to talk about the show ? Great to hear your commentary and evaluation as always. God Bless.

[@HardTruthsReviews]

This episode was great! I slept on this show in the beginning. It's extremely entertaining and gets better every week.👍🏻💯

Tulsa King is such an enjoyable show. I love Stallone as an actor. When he get's into the emotional aspects of the character, it really hits hard. Thank you for your videos Michael.

[@audielowe2700]

Always love your reviews on movies and tv shows, then you add your own life experiences…really good content. Also many people might not understand that Oklahoma has a huge outlaw history, those roots are still deep especially in eastern Oklahoma. I have met 3 and 4th generation outlaw families when I lived in Oklahoma.

[@tommymorgan9624]

Wow Michael I really appreciate how open and honest you are with the things that have occurred in your life. I truly believe that you are helping a lot of people to forgive, find reconciliation, rehabilitate and or transform their lives for the better. Of course the heart is only changed by the Messiah and you are leading by example and in word those people to the Lord as well. I pray blessings upon you and your family brother! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart!

I'm thoroughly enjoying the season, and your commentary is very helpful in understanding it to a deeper level. many thanks, Michael!

[@reneehomen2226]

I'm liking this series better as it goes on. It's becoming more interesting. It was crystal clear to me what Dwight's daughter said to him.

[@meenalaregina7770]

Hi Michael! I hope that all is well. Episode 5 was tough to watch because I had to encourage my beloved dad to die because he would never wake up. Dwight’s humanity really showed through when he said bye to his brother. I think its Dwight’s emotional complexity that is emerging as the attractive element of the show. Your reviews are insightful and enjoyable. Thanks for a lovely review 😊

I'm diggin the entertainment value of this series to Michael! I can share another story with and about Sly. On the opening night of the Palladium, I believe you were there too in the 80's, in the VIP lounge overlooking the floor. Sly comes in and says to me about my date, Who was the DJ at Power 95 Linda, "Whens it my turn"? We laughed. He was a piece of work.

I’m a young Asian woman who thinks you’re an amazing man. Your past is the past, but you seem so sincere and truly a good Christian. We’re probably two people that have the least in common, but I can say with all honesty that I feel such a connection to you that it’s scary. Funny thing. When I tuned into your podcast (which is regular for me and now many of my friends) and you mentioned this show (and I also love everything Sly does) I went and subscribed Paramount plus and binge watched all seven episodes. 😂 And, one of my moms best friends who cal Aunt Tina..

I have enjoyed episode 5 of Tulsa King. Great characters, great story and great directing? 🎬

[@rkidlat]

Loving the commentaries on the show as you have the real life perspective and if I may, a very close story. Met you and your family [I visit the shop in Newport] several times and hearing from you comment is special. I've loved Sly since the 80s and I'm surprised he or someone from the show hasn't approached you for consultation. So there's a soft spot in my heart coming from 2 people I really like and having been separated from my children myself, I can relate. I told Sly, many of us would follow any of his work at this point because we love him more than the roles he plays.

[@leosaint_9892]

This episode was my favorite one so far, I loved your commentary.

Thank you for all your thoughts and insights Michael. I'm always touched by your thoughts on family. Family life can be difficult or people that are not in that life.

Mike, Paramount + owes you 10 points on all new subscriptions since you started reviewing Tulsa King! Also good to hear you and Sammy have a good relationship 👍🏼

[@bigh6530]

The irony lies in the fact that when we’re young we don’t think of all these sacrifices and mistakes we make that keep us from or take us away from the ones we love and if we’re lucky and somehow miraculously stay away from these destructive decisions and environments and get older and mature then we are thankful for not following through with our immature, selfish and uneducated sometimes naive choices we didn’t make. Life is just way too short and hard to intentionally throw away our future for romantic ideas that only exist in the movies. Thank you God for protecting me from myself.

[@SimmerdownTX]

Great story and characters! Merry Christmas!

[@alipoon4854]

Looking forward to the review, Michael. Once again I'd like to recommend for Mob Movie Monday a Hong Kong film called Election (2006). I thought it would be so interesting to see your reaction of the portrayal of Chinese Triad gangs (if you can be bothered with the subtitles). Glad to know you've maintained a good relationship with Sammy. Wishing you a merry Christmas.

[@richardsalicejr5295]

Michael, it really means something when you talk about the family dynamic in your life. My mom passed away in March 1997 just 7 months after my son was born, and my dad passed 10 years later in July. I miss them so much.....I find myself breaking down in tears almost every day lately. I really feel like I need to speak with someone about it, but the psychiatrists here just seem to think that prescription antidepressants will solve the problem. I speak to God every day about it, and I DO receive some comfort, but how are YOU able to deal with it without tears? Any advice you can give would be a miracle from Jesus. In advance, grazie, fratello mio!

Really like your reviews of the show. The show itself is amazing, a huge surprise for me, can't wait to see where it goes.

I was shocked that Dwight daughter (Tina) found out the hard way why they called Nico (one of Chickie's men) "The Package" , when Tina was younger and when Dwight was in prison. It's hard to believe that something like would happen to those in the life, as their are rules in Costra Nostra, which one of them is NOT touching any other Made Man's family, as they are civilians

I'm really enjoying the series. I'm 45 and have lived my whole life in Tulsa. I knew this show was great but I wasn't sure if I was being partial because it's my hometown. Turns out it's not just Tulsans loving it because the reviews are great and it has legends, like Michael Franzese, giving reviews of the series. Mob films, specifically Cosa Nostra, have always been my favorite but never thought I'd see a great one with Tulsa as the main setting.

[@wildchild5093]

Great review as always. I'm going to have to see if I can get paramount so I can watch this series. I really like slyvester Stallone but I've really been enthralled (the violence is horrid but..) deep diving in all these mob interviews lately.

Im loving Tulsa King too , Stallone is great. And as much as i look forward to each episode i also look forward to your review of it. Michael ive been watching your channel and your interviews on other peoples channel’s for years now and i have to say you really are a class act and very inspirational, granted i dont know you from your former life but all i see I respect massively because you never hide behind excuses, you take responsibility and try to let others learn for your mistakes. But i have one question that ive always wanted to ask…. You are obviously a good businessman and im guessing successful in whatever you try and now a man of god. But taking religion out of it would you have been drawn back into the life if you’d have fallen on hard times financially.
